I have a T-shirt by "Brown Sound"

This T-shirt is made of the lightest weight cotton I have ever worn.
It is perfect for 90 degree heat. Do you know what I mean?
Wearing other cotton T-shirts after this is like wearing a jacket.

What is your favorite razor thin lightweight summer T-shirt for a heat wave?
Post links b/c I want to buy some backup if this one tears.

Some of the T-shirts made by Urban Outfitters are extremely thin in my opinion, but not all of them. In my experience (for some reason) the solid colors are thicker, whereas the "heather" colors are thinner and breathe better in summer. For example, I have a solid white T-shirt that is fairly thick, but a heather/army green T-shirt that is extremely light and thin.

Something like this:

You can even see some people in the comments describe it as very thin.
